Description
Located in an animal sanctuary with a view like no other, The Grateful Den is a peaceful retreat with 2 viewing decks where guests can enjoy this slice of paradise in North Georgia. The main level deck has a grill for barbecues, while the other is set 2,483 feet above a national preserve. It offers new deck furniture for relaxing and unwinding.
When you’re ready to rest, there are 2 main bedrooms. The king primary suite on the main level has a raised platform bed and a private bathroom with a shower. The bedroom on the terrace level features a queen-size bed and a private bathroom with a shower/tub combo. For extra sleeping space, there is a Murphy bed in the game room.
Ready to relax? Chat or read by the gas log fireplace as you’re comfortable on the large sectional sofa. This even has a pullout bed when you want to settle in for a nap or movie night! Enjoy year-round Southern views – with sunrises and sunsets – creating many wonderful moments to celebrate life and its simple pleasures.
You can also make drinks at the gourmet coffee bar or Zen wet bar, prepare meals in the gourmet kitchen with a gas oven and stove, shoot pool on the 8-foot professional pool table, and enjoy plenty of privacy at this beautiful North Georgia home – just 6 minutes from the main gate of Big Canoe.

The house exceeded our expectations. Perfect location, providing a stunning view without the long drive up some of the other mountains. Will definitely stay here again
Sean
We went up for a weekend getaway and really enjoyed it. The views from the back deck are amazing and it’s very peaceful.

We loved our stay here and the view was spectacular! We used to own a home in Big Canoe, so we’re very familiar with the resort but wanted to try a home further up the mountain and it did not disappoint!A lot of stuff in this house but not a complaint, just observation. We went to the Easter service at the Big Canoe chapel, and it was wonderful!

Great Stay!
What a great stay! Our second time in this home and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for a great process, beautiful home, and wonderful stay.

Big Canoe never disappoints! We enjoyed the pool, kayaks and paddle boards at the lake. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, and the Grateful Den sits in a perfect location, close to both recreation areas. The house was perfect for our family. We played many rounds of pool, and the comfortable dinner table doubled as our puzzle station. It did rain a bit during our stay, but hey! “It’s just a box of rain… such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there.” Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The house has a beautiful view of the mountains and feels very private even though there are houses on each side. We did not use the Big Canoe neighborhood amenities (except for the walking trails -which are lovely), but there are many choices of activities, restaurants, sports, etc. The house is an older home that has been renovated. But, the water doesn’t get very hot and doesn’t stay warm for long. This was a major bummer because we were looking forward to taking baths and were unable to do so. We had to take quick showers and make sure no other appliances were using water while we showered. Also, the upstairs is nice and warm, but the downstairs bedroom was very cold. You might want to bring a portable heater if staying in the winter. The upstairs gas logs were amazing and we really enjoyed them!
